How to Make Out Of Africa Salsa

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut bell peppers into large flat pieces, discarding seeds and membranes.
  3. Broil bell peppers skin-side up until the skin is blackened (about 5-7 minutes per side), turning once.
  4. Place broiled peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel and cut into 1/2-inch squares.
  5. Make a small slit in the skin of the tomatoes and plunge into boiling water for 30 seconds.
  6. Immediately transfer tomatoes to an ice bath. Once cool, peel away the skin.
  7. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise, remove seeds, and dice into 1/2-inch pieces.
  8. Cut the butternut squash into 1/2-inch cubes.
  9. Toss squash cubes with 2 tablespoons of honey and arrange in a single layer on a shallow baking sheet.
  10. Roast for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and tender. Remove from oven and let cool.
  11. Peel the grapefruit, ensuring all white pith is removed. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
  12. In a large glass bowl, gently combine the roasted bell peppers, diced tomatoes, roasted squash, and grapefruit segments.
  13. Chop fresh herbs and add to the salsa just before serving.
  14. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  15. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salsa and gently toss to combine.
